Naturalistic habitat exhibits replaced bars, cages, and pits. And three major exhibit areas were designed to engage children, especially, in learning about wildlife: The World of Animals, Animal Lifestyles, and Animals in Our Lives. These approaches to wildlife education are based on WIZE (Wildlife Inquiry through Zoo Education), the nationally-acclaimed education programs developed by Bronx Zoo educators. For getting there and back check out the HOB Connection- a new FREE shuttle for the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Children???s Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library and Prospect Park and Prospect Park Zoo.
